OTE recovery drink

Taste: 4.5

Texture: 4.5

Effect: 4

Ease to consume: 4.5

Comments: Although only available in classic chocolate flavour, OTE’s recovery drink was our favourite tasting so far. The shake is available in either whey or soya protein varieties - catering for vegetarians or the lactose intolerant and it comes in pre-portioned easy access sachets. Each drink weighs in at under 200 calories with 25g of protein. Finally it is free from artificial sweeteners, colours and preservatives, win – win all round.

My missus has started doing bananna smoothies in the mornings, which happen to coincide with my runs. Soya milk, frozen bananas, honey, ground almonds and cinamon. Not a clue if it's good or not but it tastes nice and cools me down!
